Xiao Yanzi and Hongli had just quelled the disturbance at the Shadow Pavilion, and were still shaken when they returned to their room.

Little Swallow clenched her fists: "Your Highness, the Shadow Pavilion will definitely not let this go after today's commotion!"

Hongli frowned slightly: "My dear consort, don't be anxious. The more arrogant they are, the easier it will be for them to slip up."

At this moment, Xiao Tao rushed in, looking flustered: "Miss, Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Lord Lin has been impeached in court, accused of having ties with the Shadow Pavilion!"

Little Swallow's eyes widened: "How is that possible? Someone must have deliberately framed us!"

Hongli pondered for a moment: "There must be something fishy about this. I must go and find out the truth. My beloved consort, wait here. Do not act rashly."

Little Swallow stubbornly said, "Your Highness, I want to go with you. Lord Lin has been incredibly kind to me, and I cannot stand idly by!"

Hongli couldn't refuse her, so he had to nod: "Then my beloved consort must stay close to me."

The two arrived at the imperial court and found it in chaos, with ministers discussing the matter.

A minister stepped forward and said, "Prince Bao, Lord Lin has been behaving suspiciously lately, and has been in frequent contact with people from the Shadow Pavilion. This is a serious crime!"

Hongli looked at him coldly: "My father-in-law, I will know the truth. Don't make false accusations!"

Lord Lin stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, I am innocent. Someone must have secretly plotted to kill me."

Little Swallow couldn't help but shout, "My father is definitely not that kind of person! You must have made a mistake!"

Upon hearing this at the Prince Heshuo's residence, Hongzhou said to Dili Leyao, "It seems that the palace is in turmoil again, and Xiaoyanzi and the others are likely to be in trouble."

Dilireyao said softly, "Your Highness, should we go and help them?"

Hongzhou smiled bitterly: "I can barely protect myself right now, how can I help?"

In the palace, Niohuru Zhixi was secretly delighted when she heard that Lord Lin had been impeached: "Now Little Swallow will be busy. Let's see how she competes with me for the Emperor's favor."

Rong Momo chimed in, "The Princess is right, this is a good opportunity."

Xiao Yanzi and Hongli searched for clues throughout the court, trying to find the flaws in the person who impeached Lord Lin.

Little Swallow questioned a minister who had a grudge against Lord Lin: "Why did you frame my father? Did the Shadow Pavilion instigate you?"

The minister stammered, "I...I didn't! Someone gave me evidence, so I..."

Hongli astutely grasped the key point: "Who gave you the evidence? Speak quickly!"

The minister stammered and dared not speak.

At this moment, Fucha Fuheng arrived and whispered in Hongli's ear: "Your Highness, I have found some clues. This matter seems to be related to Gao Wuyong."

Hongli's eyes turned cold: "Gao Wuyong? Why is he involved in this?"

Upon hearing this, Little Swallow angrily said, "That eunuch is always stirring up trouble; he's definitely up to no good!"

They decided to confront Gao Wuyong, only to find that Gao Wuyong had disappeared.

Little Swallow said anxiously, "Your Highness, he ran away. He must be feeling guilty!"

Hongli calmly said, "He can't get very far. I have already sent people to block all the key roads."

However, just as they were pursuing Gao Wuyong, the Shadow Pavilion sent people to set fire to the Prime Minister's residence in an attempt to destroy evidence related to Lord Lin.

The Prime Minister's residence was engulfed in flames, and Lin Yuhang and Lin Yuxuan led their families in a desperate escape.

Lin Yuhang shouted, "Everyone, don't panic, come this way!"

Lin Yuxuan cried out, "Sister, where are you?"

When Xiao Yanzi and Hongli learned of the disaster at the Prime Minister's residence, they rushed there.

Little Swallow was extremely anxious: "Father, Mother, brothers, you must all be safe!"

Hongli quickened his pace: "My beloved consort, do not worry. I will ensure the safety of the Prime Minister's residence."

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, the fire was raging and people were trying to put it out.

Despite the danger, Little Swallow rushed into the sea of ​​fire to find her family.

Hongli followed closely behind: "My beloved concubine, be careful!"

In the sea of ​​fire, Xiao Yanzi finally found her trapped family and rescued them together with Hongli.

But Lord Lin, looking at the burned-down Prime Minister's residence, was heartbroken and asked, "Why did all this happen?"

Little Swallow comforted him, "Father, don't be afraid, the Prince will find out the truth."

But now, their predicament grows ever more difficult. The Shadow Pavilion's conspiracies are ever-present, and crises intertwine within the palace and their families. Can Xiao Yanzi and Hongli break through these perilous situations, uncover the mastermind, clear the Prime Minister's name, and protect the peace of themselves and the palace? Everything hangs in the balance. Only by steadfastly forging ahead amidst the turmoil of the palace and their families, continuing their legendary saga, fearlessly facing the raging flames of hardship, can they await the dawn of their destiny.
